SCHOLARSHIPS
MARY DAVIES EMPOWERMENT SCHOLARSHIP
CONNECTED was created to link high school females with women mentors from our community. We believe young women need access to adult role models who are willing to share their stories and career pathways, ultimately creating a culture of support and empowerment between successful women and young females. Women must support and empower each other every day. This empowerment can take many forms. Mary Davies was a member of our Connected planning committee for many years. She left a lasting impact on us with her positive outlook on life, willingness to take on any challenge, and, most of all, her welcoming and loving nature.
We will award one scholarship of $500 to a deserving student who registers for and attends Connected.
To be eligible to receive the award, students are asked to submit a short write-up (as a Word doc or PDF) answering the following:
1) Student's full name and school they attend
2) What does empowerment mean to you?
3) Describe how someone or something has empowered or positively influenced your life. (no names necessary)
4) Describe how you could use this award to add empowerment or educational training to your career path.
Email submissions to Michelle@saskatooniec.ca before Monday, November 4, at 4:00 pm.
